Make it Sparkle!


I can't believe Thanksgiving is over and it's now time to prepare for Christmas!  Wow, the year has gone by so quickly and I know the holidays will be over before we know it and it will be time to scrap our Christmas pictures!  

Over at Cut It Up, we want Christmas to sparkle; so the theme is Christmas Sparkle with Sequins!  Of course we have a wonderful sponsor this month offering a prize, so you'll want to head over to Cut It Up and see what As Cute As a Button has to offer to our winner!

So, about this layout.  Some of you may be saying, "Hey, didn't she scrap that picture before?"  Hmmm,,,well,,, yes, I did!  But I gave it to my daughter and I love the picture so much I wanted one for my own book!

I started with the picture and the beautiful paper!  I absolutely adore this paper from CTMH; the trees are so perfectly adorable.  There's just something about that homespun look.  I liked them so much I wanted a big tree by the picture.  Hmmmmm, how could I make that happen?  I ended up scanning the stamp that coordinates with the paper.  I traced the pieces and imported the seven tracings into Cricut Design Space.  Now I had my tree!  


My title was welded from Christmas and Joy which are both from the CTMH Artbooking Cartridge.


Material List:
CTMH Cardstock/Paper:  White Pines, Cranberry, Poppy
CTMH Inks:  Poppy, Chocolate, Cranberry
CTMH Artbooking Cartridge for the Title
Laces from stash
